Against that my Abit KT133a belonged in one place. The bin. Which were I put it.

ABITs are the only boards I've seen this problem on. They were massive failures denoted by the caps serially exploding like popcorn.

My other boards are ASUS, MSI and Gigabytes with most of them being quite reliable, though I've run into trace burning near the first RAM slot on two Gigabyte GA-7VRX variants. Both resulted in the RAM in the first slot frying along with the board.

check out http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39710 doc, either i'm unlucky or MSI wanted to save a penny as well.
i have seen two caps blow on a ECS SIS 735 as well (not mine).

Epox are others mentioned. I ain't had a problem but what I've got don't overclock very well. 648 chipset. 5 mhz anything above that and it's send your motherboard back.
